INTERNATIONAL CONNECTION

Hawai‘i Tokai International College is currently building a state-of-the-art, 85,000 square foot, sustainable campus on three acres of UH West O‘ahu land. The college is relocating from its Honolulu site on Kapiolani Boulevard. The move creates a unique, synergistic relationship that strengthens programs of both institutions. Many of the students who complete their two-year coursework at Hawai‘i Tokai International College may enter the four-year programs at UH West O‘ahu in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. UH West O‘ahu students will benefit from the nearby college facilities, programs and students while enhancing international and global perspectives.

The new Hawai‘i Tokai International College campus was designed by the same team that designed the UH West O‘ahu campus, led by John Hara & Associates Inc., to build environmentally friendly residence halls, dining facilities and classrooms for approximately 150 students primarily from Japan.

Hawaii Tokai International College has operated in Hawai‘i for more than 17 years with tremendous success, focusing on its College Preparatory program, Associate of Arts degree program and International Studies program.
